Etiket: Advanced Python or Understanding Python

Google Tech Talks February 21, 2007 ABSTRACT The Python language,
while object-oriented, is fundamentally different from both C++ and Java.
The dynamic and introspective nature of Python allow for language mechanics
unlike that of static languages. This talk aims to enlighten programmers new to
Python about these fundamentals, the language mechanics that flow from them
and how to effectively put those to use. Among the topics covered are duck-typing,
interfaces, descriptors, decorators, metaclasses, reference-counting and the
cyclic-garbage collector, the divide between C/C++ data and Python objects
and the CPython implementation in general. This talk is part of the Advanced
Topics in Programming Languages series. The goal of this series is to encourage
all of the people at Google who know and love programming languages to share
their knowledge.
